  • Well, fuck all that. I still end up scraping by every month on pocket change and prayers.

    The actual data says it has nothing to do with personal experience and everything to do with what the media tells people. When polled last month, voters in swing states were split down the middle on what they experienced in their own lives, whether their local city or town’s economy was heading in the right direction, but three out of four said the national economy, something they have no first hand understanding of, is going in the wrong direction.

    The oligarch-owned media constantly tells everyone that things are terrible but people look at their own lives and local economy and don’t see it, so they assume it’s happening everywhere else.









  • So, you wouldn’t be allowed to avoid doing business with:

    a) Directly environmentally destructive companies
    b) Gun-related companies
    c) Companies that refuse to do anything about their global warming emissions
    d) Companies that make racist and/or sexist promotion decisions
    e) Medical companies that refuse to provide full reproductive and/or trans care
    f) Companies that do business with any of the above

    Nice list of priorities. You can boycott a company for trying to fix the environment but not for destroying it. You can boycott a company for trying to prevent gun violence but not for promoting it. You can boycott a company for trying to help fight against global warming but not for contributing to it. You can boycott a company for fighting against racism and sexism but not for enforcing it. You can boycott a company for providing reproductive or trans care but not for refusing to.
